Sonic Youth Gossip - View Single Post - SY. Most influential band ever? Asks the NME

There's just no way that Sonic Youth can come close to either the Beatles or the Velvet Underground.

Probably the Sex Pistols were more influential too.

Sonic Youth were quite possibly the most influential band of the 1980's, though! Things like the Smiths might give them competition even there.

I guess the 80's is close enough to "ever" for NME!
